It doesn't help when you get brain dead nursing staff in hospital scrubs clearly saying Nevill Hall theatres, stood in line waiting to go into Tesco! Fecking moron. Infection control anyone. That photo was taken about an hour ago.

There were several reasons, they did a lot more testing so found those with no/minor symptoms as opposed to the UK where they tested a lot less and usually those showing severe symptoms.
This also meant they could control their quarantine better as people who had the virus but were still healthy knew to self isolate, unlike in a lot of other places where people carried on as normal because it wasnt affecting them.

I've only ever been wrong once and thats when I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

watched a very interesting video today on fox news - the commentator , tucker carlson, is pointing out that we should not trust any chinese cv stats and also something i had not thought about before - what happened to all the chinese people who atended the wuhan chinese new year, caught cv and then went home to other chinese cities? if the premise is that many left wuhan to fly back to the west carrying the virus wih them to london, milan and new york, how is it that we are not hearing about cv outbreaks elsewhere in china? - could it be that there is other cv outbreaks in china that are not being reported by the chinese govt? makes you think! and once i did it became obvious that it would be impossible for it to not spread elsewhere which is truly terrifying if it emerges that it has been totally suppressed by theCCP (just checked youtube has already removed the video because it takes down anything that the liberals dont want you to see)

Stacker - Thanks for the info - got to be asking why our NHS weren't at a similar level of preparedness and had a similar pandemic reaction plan in place & rehearsed - surely the health service headsheds talk to each other across Europe and plan for this eventuality ? (or is it cheaper to accept the casualties)

That's irrelevant.
NHS policy is that you don't wear nursing scrubs or uniform while shopping. It's all about infection control and is a massive No No. Especially with this Coronavirus running riot.

Put it this way, she can carry infection both ways, in and out of hospital.
Let's be extreme for a moment, she's been in somewhere where there's Ebola or something equally nasty, she leaves work in those scrubs and goes to Tesco, brushes past the ready meals leaving the Ebola virus on the surface.
You pick it up 30 seconds later take it home and let your 3 year old handle it, he then sticks his fingers in his mouth and contracts the virus.

Every country has its own way of dealing with it, (Sweden is still open for business for example). Its the first time something like this has happened in modern times, I dont think anyone knew what to do, can you imagine the outcry if the NHS spend billions on tests/ventilators/new hospitals and the lockdown was earlier only for virus to not be the deadly or contagious?

UK has not yet managed to test 8,500 people a day. Germany are testing more like 25,000 a day.
If UK had that rate then the number of cases in UK would be more like 100,000 cases. Plus the UK has, up til now, only been testing those serious enough to be admitted to hospital therefore the recovery rate will be much less than Germany who has been testing even mild cases not serious enough to warrant hospital admission. Recovery rate from mild cases as opposed to recovery rate from serious cases.
